PHYSHARMONICA

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 548 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHYSHARMONICA , a keyboard
instrument
  fitted with free-reeds, a kind of harmonium much used in Germany. The physharmonica resembles a small harmonium, but is differentiated from it by having no stops; being without percussion action, it does not speak readily or clearly. As in the harmonium, the
bellows
  are worked by the feet by an alternate
movement
 , which also affords a means of varying the dynamic force of the tone according as more or less energetic pedalling increases or decreases the pressure of the wind
supply
 . The physharmonica was invented in 1818 by Anton Hackel, of Vienna; in the
original
 
instrument
  the
bellows
  were placed right and left immediately under the shallow wind-chest, and were worked by means of pedals connected by stout wire. A'specimen, having a compass of four octaves and a very sweet tone, is preserved in the collection of Paul de Wit, formerly in
Leipzig
 , now transferred to Cologne. (K. S.)
